“…A log 10 viral load of 2.6 (i.e., 398 RNA copies per ml) can be used as a threshold for HIV viral suppression. 43 Using this threshold, the percentage of HIV-infected PWID participants with viral suppression was 4.2% in Nairobi and 4.6% in the Coast region.…”

“…Our threshold for designating a VL as undetectable was stricter than some studies (i.e., that use 300 to 500 copies/mL [19]), but this cut-off is consistent with past reporting in Canada [20, 21], and even with this conservative measure, the prevalence of HIV suppression was high and comparable to observational data from other cohorts of women living with HIV [22, 23]. Moreover, based on the positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios, the majority of women were able to accurately report their VL.…”
